I AM I will release their cover of John Farnham’s classic 80’s track ‘You’re The Voice’ on December 10th on digital format, distributed worldwide by Plastichead and available from all the usual digital outlets.

Their rocking, feel-good cover of John Farnham’s classic 80’s song had been received exceptionally well on the band’s recent tour with everyone singing along with the memorable chorus of this great track, leading them to decide to put it out as an end of year single.

ZP also felt that the lyrical content of the track was especially relevant in this current era, mirroring what’s actually happening with the us all right now & making the timing for the single release perfect.

Written by Andy Qunta, Keith Reid, Maggie Ryder and Chris Thompson, ‘You’re The Voice’ was originally released by Aussie singer John Farnham in 1986 and was a smash hit, reaching the top 10 in most European countries.

I AM I‘s debut album ‘Event Horizon’ was released independently on May 26th. Written and produced by Theart and Jacob Ziemba and mixed and mastered by Roland Grapow (Helloween/Masterplan), this album is an absolutely blistering slice of heavy rock liberally infused with Theart’s passion, energy and soaring vocals. ‘Event Horizon’ is the first heavy metal album to be released on USB packaged in a CD style case with full artwork, and can be bought from the Official I AM I website at http://www.iamiofficial.com. Also I AM I are now confirmed to play the main stage at Bloodstock this summer on Saturday 11th August. This is a fantastic opportunity for the band and the first time that they will be seen on a big stage so everyone’s really fired up about playing there. The band commented: “We are delighted to be appearing at this year’s Bloodstock, the UK’s premier Metal Festival and we can’t wait to see you all there. It’s going to be a very special show and we are completely stoked for it. Bring it on!”

The first song on the album is This Is My Life which is the first single off the Album Event Horizon, it starts off with some really drumbeats and a real quality guitar riff Zp’s voice seems well suited to this style of playing which is what he wanted. The guitars are solid all the way through the song and the drumbeat keeps it tight throughout. The solos are a joy to behold this is a great start to the album if the rest of the album is a good as this I am going to be a very happy man. The second song on the album is Silent Genocide this is also the bands second video it starts off with a cracking guitar riff which instantly gets my head nodding to the rhythm the vocals on this are absolutely brilliant it also has a very catchy chorus. The song has some brilliant soaring riffs and superb solo’s this is one of my favourites on the album. The next three songs on the album is Stay A While, Cross The Line and In The Air Tonight all these songs have some cracking riffs brilliant top class vocals, soaring solo’s, booming bass lines and pounding drumbeats just what you need in songs on an album of this quality. The sixth song on the album is King In Ruins it starts off with a slow cracking solo with a piano working in tandem with it the vocals comes in slow and meaningful this song has all the great characteristics of a brilliant ballad. This has some brilliant guitar solos in there, this is the only song so far on the album to give me goose bumps when I hear it. It is just a quality song. The next three songs are Kiss Of Judas, Dust 2 Dust and Wasted Wonders these three songs again have some fantastic vocals the guitar work is spot on. I cannot fault any of the songs they have all been well executed in all the forms whether it is the drums, bass, guitars or the vocals. The last song on the album is Pave The Way and this is a quality song to end the album. Its is full of quality galloping riffs, soaring solo’s and the vocals have been done to perfection and holding it altogether is the pounding drums keeping a quality beat.

Overall
Zp Theart has been out of the limelight for a year and he comes back with I AM I and I must say this is probably the best I have heard from him his vocals seem to have come back stronger than ever. He has put together a group of top class musicians and together they are I AM I fans of Dragonforce I will have to say he was brilliant with them but he is probably a better singer now without them. He now can put to the fans what he has been wanting to for along time and with this album he has got it right. This is one of my favourite albums of the year so far and I just cannot wait to see them at Bloodstock it is going to awesome.

I AM I, the new band led by former DRAGONFORCE singer ZP Theart, made its live debut on Sunday, May 27 at Birmingham, England’s O2 Academy 2.
